Be on the lookout for school traffic

By Staff
As students return to schools throughout the state, Alabama state troopers encourage motorists to watch out for school buses, young pedestrians and bicyclists, and to be particularly cautious when traveling through school zones.
As the result of new legislation effective Oct. 1, drivers on divided highways with four or more lanes which permit at least two lanes of traffic to travel in opposite directions need not stop when meeting a school bus which is stopped in the opposing roadway.
